TAR15 Leg 10 - Sam and Dan stole Brian and Ericka's cab at the Detour location. They were not penalised

Very true. But I struggle to recall whether Brian & Ericka's bags were in the taxi or not when they stole it.

If their bags were not in the taxi and Sam & Dan stole the taxi without touching their possessions, then maybe Dånooky is right about a penalty for touching property, since Grace clearly has.

1. Don't pick up the phone - You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone.2. Don't let him in - You have to kick him out again.3. Don't be his friend - You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning.And if you're under him, you ain't gettin' over him. ♥

I'm not so sure. Cab stealing has never technically been against the rules, and they didn't cause Sarah and James any time disadvantage by moving their bags from the cab to the road.

In Season 6 of the American version, Don & Mary Jean got a penalty for "accidentally" driving Adam & Rebecca's car. I'm sure the same principle applies here.

That penalty was because they caused Adam and Rebecca a delay. In taking their car, they forced them to wait at the end of the leg 2 Detour after they had already completed the task.

Taking the taxi is different to driving someone elses car.

What about Flight Time and Big Easy moving Ron and Christina's bag and the penalty for that? I think physically removing someone's stuff from a vehicle, taxi or otherwise, should be a big no-no, as the teams will not find their belongings where they left them.

That's another situation where Ron and Christina's stuff was moved far enough away from where they were left that Chris & Ron couldn't find them immediately, and wasted time looking for their fanny pack.

i reviewed the rules and I read that the penalty only goes if someone used other teams ASSIGNED vehicles and this not include taxis. Don and Mary Jean used the assigned car of the other team so they where penalized while Sam and Dan stole Brian and Ericka's taxi so they haven't penalized. i haven't read any penalties regarding touching others property.

i think the rules related to this one is -Teams are forbidden to hinder the other teams performance by altering the equipment at a task.

Grace and Jo my not get a penalty since they out the bag just on the same place. They did not hide it or whatever assuming touching others property is not a rule.

Just asking a taxi to wait and the driver being talked into taking another team is one thing (kind of like Romber? bribing the ferry captain to leave early (or was it a bus?)), physically removing the other teams stuff crosses a line to me. Since it was a public location, what if someone came and stole the stuff after it was dumped on the curb?

Well it wasn't just dumped there as the teams met up before the cab left.

That was certainly true when ARAus2 was run, but it had a public closing on Feb. 12, 2012.There are some very interesting ferris wheels elsewhere.The Prater in Vienna had 70.3 feet. The London Eye has 135m and 443 feet. The Singapore Flyer is a whopping 150m and 491 feet.The under-construction Giant Dubai Wheel will be 185m and 703 feet.
